The will of the people, however a may be ex
ercised, is the law of our national existence.
But there is a danger, IJfear that the scope
ol the w- *rua *‘our people, ’ and ait i hey nnjart,
are not always full* apprehended. It is only
natural that those in various walks of life
should “our people" within range of their
own tisioa and uid ,iust abmt them the inter
ests most important and most worthy the car*
of the government. The rich merchant or capi
talist, in the writer of wealth and enterprise,
hardly h&i a glitnpHe of the country black
smith at his forge or the fanner
in his fleid. and these, in their tuna know
but little of the lauorors who crowd our manu
factories and inhabit their own world of toil, or j
of the thousands who labor in our mines, if
representatives of every element of our popu
lation and industries should be gathered to
gether they would find but little of purely Hel
lish and personal interest in cotnmou. and upon
superficial lance but. little would be seen to
denote that only one people was
nr presented. Vet In the spirit of out
institutions, ali of these so separated
in station aud personal interest
arc a common brotherhood and are “one
people,’ all of equal value l>efore the law, all
having by their suffrage the same voice n
governmental affairs, all demanding with e jua!
Ure prot*ctio.i and defense, and all in rhmr
persons and property equally entitled to taei *
government’s scrupulous care. Taedi *rsi(y
of our int*rests, through the source of
boundless wealtu and prosperity, has ten
dency to pressjour people apart. This condi
tion demands of us a counter-force of liberal
itynnd toleration towards each oth r and an
enlightened regard for the condition of ‘. very
individual who contributes t > the groat ag
gregate of our nati.oral great tu-ss. This aggre
gate fostered and incroe-ed by united, earnest
aud unselfish effort, will > ioli fuil return for
individual enterprises and labor, without drying
up the fonntams of brotherly k>n luess and for
bearance upon which the political health
of our people depend. This centennial
time, which stirs our pride by
leading iih to contemplation of our tremendous
stride in wealth and great ness, also recalls to
our minds the virtues and unseUiso devot ion to
the principle of those who saw the first days of
the repubhe. Let ti .re be non a revival of our
love for the principles which our country rep
resents; let there at this time anew conse
cration to rhe cause of mans freedom and
equality and a quickeuei wnso of th© solemn
responsibility assumed before the world by
every man who wears the badge of “our peo
ple." ITitures lead us on. Let us follow with
an exalted and ennobling love of country and
with undaunted courage. Though clouds may
sometimes darken the heavens, they shall b©
dispelled, ami wo shall set* the bow of God's
promise net clearly in the sky, and shall read
beneath it. b a/mg in radiant characters, the
wortls, "Our People."

A TFRRIBLE CRUSH,
One hundred thousand men, women and

were seriously hurt, ana a number perhaps

Aside from th presence of the crowd itself

movement iu an opposite direction, and the
result was a terrible convulsion of tne whole

BARM M'S SUCCESSOR.
Washington. April 33. fjeuator Gor
man seems to be gen rally considered most
likclv to succeed William H. Rarnum as
chairman of the democratic national com
mittee. But there is some distrust on tho
part of tariff reformers, who mention Will
iam L. Scott ns preferable. Sena or Gor
man is out at his farm nr. Laurel, so that no
one could quote him to-uaj. The matter
will have to tie decided by the naiioual
committee itself, and it may not meet for
some time The Star say* Senator Thigh of
Alalauiia told a .Vue reporter that Seuat r
Gorman’s succession w.,s by no mean, a
certainty. “There are,’ and ho, “a good
many mn tor ml matters to ! discussed be
fore anew chairman is elected. He s got to
boa gold man and acceptable to the great
ms jorlty of the Democratic party.”
“How would yoif like that place ?” The
question was put to ex-Attornoy General
Garland, who had just cone out of
Weleker’', chewing a tooth pic c.
“1 wouldn't mind,” replied the gentle
man from Arkansas. “I'm out of n job
now, anyhow. What'* the situation

Mr. Barnum had been conti ital t ■ tus bed

PARNELL ON THE STAND.
HE DENIES A:<Y SYMPATHY WITH
IRISH OUTRAGES.
A Belief that the Land League Had
No Connection With the Phenix
Park or Other Murders- He Has No
Recollection of His Alleged Inter
view With Lo Caron.
London, April 30. —The Parnell commis
sion re timed its sitting to-day. There was
a m derate attendance in the court room.
Mr. Parnell was called to give his evidence.
Ho took his seat in t e witness c inir and
gave his testimony in a clear v ice and in
a deliberate manner. He testified that
he did not know Peter Delan-y was con
nected with the Amnesty Ass iciation. He
had never heard of any attempt being made
on Justice La .son’s life. Ho was never a
mem .er of a secret society. Although the late
Secretary Forster did not know L ggar was
a Feuian until 1577, he advised Liggar to
resign his seat iu parliament, but Liggar
refused.
THE FENIANS IN AMERICA.
Mr. Parnell said he did not co nmunicato
with Patrick Ford or Fenian c nvicts in
America; neither did he meet them r.heie.
He first h ard of the Cla i-Na-Gael in
America. Ha doubted whether the con
vention at Cincin .ati advoca ed the de
struction of the link between E .gland and
Ireland, which was so opposed to his
( pinion. Ho did not leave his interests in
America in the hands of Ford and the
Fenians, but in the hands of Dill nad a
body representing the party co-< parating in
America with the party in 1A a id. Ho
hai urged bo. cutting under certain condi
tions, but never intimidation.
DON’T REMEMBER THE LE CARON INTER
VIEW.
Mr. Purnell forgo- his alleged interview
with Le Car n in 188 L. Ha said it might
have occurred. He had not said he believed
tnat only foreo wou and redeem Ireland. Ke
did n t doubt that by constitutional parlia
mentary action the Irish leaders would suc
ceed. He never suggested revolution no
diseased mea is by which ravolutio . could
! lie effected, lie had not been asked to au
thorize the pay merit of £20,030 to “remove”
oftici Is. lie had .ever sanctioned outrage.
He did not know . f payments for the co.li
neal of outrages. H : did not approve of
the suggestion of Mr. Egan that Earl Cow
per, Secretary Forster, Under-S eretary
Burke, Justice Lawson and many others be
“ran ved.” Ho could not have approved
of ucii a suggestion, Mr. Egan never naviug
made it.
EARL COWPER’s REMOVAL.
He had never heard propo als from any
qu rter for the “removal” (meaning murd r)
of Earl Cowper, Secretary Forster ad
o:lj9is. He did not knew of tue existence
of an invincible conspiracy until after bis
arrest ii 1833, when he was li e.-atei
from Kilmaiuham jail ou parole to
attend the funeral of bis nephew in Paris.
He met in Paris, Jus in McCarthy and
Q linn and B/rue. He did not know tnat
Byrne had i een a Fenian. Hu did not co.n
municate wi.h Mr. Egan directly or in
directly v hile li3 was in Paris, thinking
t at his parole precluded communications
witn any of his political friends.
A CALAMITY.
He ha always regarded tne Phanix park
murder as tue greatest possible calamity to
Ireland. Ho ims never been able to litain
the slightest evidence con . c i .g the leaguu
with too e murders, excepti g unrelin.de
statements made by I .funner Carey.
He ciid not believe the stories
about Egan supplying the Invincible!
from the league iu ids. Tne payment of
£IOO to Byrne was made iu response t > a
letter asking for an advance for the pur
poses of the land and labor league, and n t
for the purpose of enabling him Pi make bis
e cop 1 , lie lad not the lightest suspicion
that Byrne was engaged in any conspiracy.

Thompson Unexpectedly Appears as
u Witness.
Birmingham, Ala., April 39.— The
theory of the defense iu the Hawes’ case
lias been that R. 1). Thompson, who re
seinblea Haw-os, was tha mail seen on the
dummy line with little lay that Monday
night. It was insisted that Thompson was
intimate with Mrs. llawos, looked
like the defendant, and disappeared
about the time of the murder. After all
the evidence was in this morning the pros
ecution created siiisatiou by uiiaxpec-,-
edly producing Thompson ou the stand,
who swo a that tie left Birmingham three
weeks before the murder and had eve • sines
been iu Atlanta and other points in Georgia,
lie voluntarily cams from Tliom-uville ii
respouse to a telegram to cl-ur him*.‘lf, he
sayN, of the attempt to fix the crime on
him. As seen o i the witness stand his re
semblance to Hawes is slight.
The argument b igan this afternoon, tha
case foi the state being opened by Assist
ant Solicit ii- F rguson, who was followed
In- Mr. Mclntosh for tue defense. Col.
Mclnt sih’s argu ueut was devoted to show
